If you haven't noticed, Developer Events (Sometimes referenced as Devents) are generally disliked throughout "forumers" on ATR. There are several reasons to why they are disliked.
◘- 1 -◘ One reason is that it feels like ROBLOX is not being creative. ROBLOX is just getting already existing games an adding hats/badges to them. They aren't creating a new game. It also feels like ROBLOX is being lazy and not really putting a lot of effort into their hats/items. ROBLOX believes that it promotes creativity because it shows the players "look, you can do this too!" However, the games used aren't always original and does not really promote creativity. People can still feel motivated to build something original just by playing good games or playing something sophisticated built by the ROBLOX team.
◘- 2 -◘ Another reason is that those games have been popular for a while and a lot of people have already played them. The idea is no longer original since many people have been making copies of that game or that game itself has an idea that came from another. Also, being popular for a while, many people feel "burned out" and don't find the game fun anymore. It's sometimes found a little unfair towards certain players that started playing the game a couple weeks or months after others, since the older experienced players would have an easier time getting the hats, and will probably continue playing (Since they like winning) and prevent other players from getting hats.
◘- 3 -◘ Many developers look for profit, as well. In some of the games that are used in "devents", the developers have gamepasses that make it easier to earn certain badges and items. This makes it easier for the "rich" users to earn certain things. Because of this, and that developers usually make the prices of gamepasses really high, some people are calling ROBLOX a Pay-to-win game, now.
◘- 4 -◘ The types of games can also make certain events not enjoyable. For example, some people dislike "ROBLOX Highschool" because many users go there to Online Date. Some people play certain games just to play certain games, not for the event, getting in the way of the people who are. However, in the event games created by the ROBLOX staff, it is mainly just about the event. You aren't being distracted and there aren't a lot of users getting in the way of you accomplishing a task.
----- I believe that ROBLOX can come up with a compromise. Such a compromise may be that, yes, there continues to be developer events. However, instead of choosing front-page games that have already been used in previous events, non-mainstream developers can all work on a certain map or game together, a brand new game which is just about the event. The 2015 egg hunt is the current "Devent." The idea presented above is similar to the egg hunt of 2013, which many call the best egghunt of ROBLOX so far.

Well, making a new event every month is hard. Especially if you have a beep load of other things to do.
If it's breakable, it's fixable |

Basically, devents seem unoriginal and are sort of like an excuse for developers to earn more money. Games are no longer fun because of fan service and you already played it before. Ideas get unoriginal and certain players have more advantages than others, which is unfair.

@ATR Would you rather me continue foruming regularly or to have random huge walls of text that relate to ROBLOX that are created by me and help to clear things up for the moderators/admins/players?

I agree with Original Poster.
What a shame.

| i find the latest DEV event blew the others out of the water, due to the fact that the effort to reskin the places to the event itself really shows, as instead of just placing jurassic park posters everywhere, all of the games had an addition or were completely transformed to fit with the theme of jurrasic park. |

Subata, it's definitely better than the previous developer events, but you even said it yourself: it's just a reskin.
I'd prefer original events to reskins of existing places, even if they are high quality. |

@Siccity
i really only mean that in terms of visuals, otherwise all the other parts of the current event is the same ol find an object that randomly spawns on the map.
